I was looking for something that would emulate the way that it's done in every piece of software except Rev -- hold down option key and type "u", see floating dots, type "u" and get ümlaut.
I'm curious what our German, French and Portuguese Revers do.. Can you type accents and umlauts into Rev fields? What happens if you use a US keyboard instead of a German/French/Portuguese keyboard, can you still type them?
Hi Frank,
I just discovered something interesting while preparing to answer your questions: If you set your keyboard to "U.S. Extended" (unicode), you get very similar results to Apple Mail, except that, instead of the umlaut being highlighted, it has a heavy underline. Otherwise, using the "U.S.", "British" or "Australian" keyboards (via the Input tab of "International" System Preferences), you can still type "ü" in a Rev field (option-u, u); you just don't get any feedback until you type the (second) "u".
And a final question, does anyone know where the floating dots (or floating accent or floating tilda) characters are stored, and how to show them in a Rev field?
Rev doesn't "store" them, AFAIK; it's a system-wide thing. But in any app, you can show a "naked" umlaut by typing option-u, then space, a "naked" acute by typing option-e, then space, etc.
Also, BTW, Jeanne de Voto wrote:
you can get an accent character by itself by pressing the relevant key twice. (For example, to get an umlaut, press option-u option-u.)
This doesn't work for me. Only option-u, [space] .
HTH,
